Why Do I Need Confluence?
Whatever field you're working in, Confluence can help you. Confluence's many customers include software and hardware development teams, aerospace, banking, university research departments. Where people are working together, Confluence can help.
Collaboration and Communication
Confluence is a powerful way for people to work together, sharing information and ideas. Through a website that is just as easy to edit as it is to read, Confluence encourages teams to share information and work together to build on each others knowledge. Everyone in the team can contribute, and everyone can benefit from each others contributions.
Harnessing Knowledge
Every organisation has a wealth of knowledge, but far too often that knowledge is lost: lurking in the depths
of the fileserver, locked in peoples’ heads or hiding on their hard drives and inboxes. Everyone is buried in
files and email, and nobody can find the document they’re after.
Confluence can store your documents and specifications. Confluence can archive email conversations. Confluence can be an archive for formal documentation, and a notepad where ideas are jotted down, all at the same time. Confluence is the easy place to put everything anyone might need to know.
A No-Fuss Intranet
Too many intranets are stale and out of date. The IT gatekeepers are all too busy, it’s just too time-consuming to update the site, and the intranet becomes a repository of six-month obsolete information. By making maintaining the site simple and available to everyone, Confluence makes the intranet the first place that sees new information, not the last.
A Flexible Solution
Confluence is available either as a stand-alone server that can run on a wide range of operating systems including Windows and Unix, or as an application archive that can be deployed in any J2EE 1.3 compliant application server. (See the Requirements for more information.)
A Popular Solution
Today, Confluence is used by project teams, development teams, sales & marketing teams, human resources teams and other knowledge workers at 6,100+ organisations in over 87 countries around the world. Take a look at who is using Confluence and what they have to say about it.
